The **PDF Metadata Viewer** is a professional diagnostic tool that instantly surfaces all hidden properties embedded within a PDF document. Whether you need to audit document origins, verify accessibility tagging, or debug web-streaming optimization (Linearization), this tool extracts everything locally with zero server uploads.
Upload a PDF sent by a vendor to inspect its *Creator* and *Producer* tags. This allows you to verify exactly which software (e.g. Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Word, or an automated script) generated the file, and exactly when it was modified.
Upload large PDF manuals to verify their *Linearization* state. A Linearized PDF (Fast Web View) allows browsers to start rendering the first page before the entire megabyte payload finishes downloading.
Use the **CSV Export** to instantly flatten complex nested metadata properties into a spreadsheet-ready format.
Hover over any individual metadata value to reveal a quick-copy icon, perfect for grabbing a specific Timestamp or Producer string.
No. If a PDF is securely encrypted with a user password, the internal metadata envelope is also locked. You must remove the password before inspecting it.
XMP (Extensible Metadata Platform) is an XML-based standard created by Adobe for embedding structured data into files. Our tool detects raw XMP payloads and exposes them in a dedicated code viewer.
Absolutely. 100% of the extraction logic runs entirely on your local machine. Nothing is ever uploaded to a server.
All metadata extraction happens locally in your browser memory using the `pdfjs-dist` core engine. Your sensitive PDF files are never sent over the internet, and no tracking APIs are used to log your document properties.
